Good n00z, everyone--tRump sez itz ok to get our allies to interfere in our next election to kick him and the GOP out to elect Democrats!
20 July 2017 update:
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Walp, yet again, this blawg virtually writes itself--there's just so much crazy to be had.
*sigh*
Did you know that both Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul oppose sanctions on Russia?
I knew Bernie was w-a-y late to the "party" acknowledging Russia's interference in our election--which really deflates my trust in him.
But I was surprised to learn that he opposed sanctions against the country that attacked us.
WTAF?
Rand Paul, being a Republican, didn't surprise me at all. PEWtin has the entire GOP sucking him off deze daze. So, yeah, swing a Republican, hit a Russian.
Rand Paul's Russian Connection - Free Beacon
McCain: Rand Paul 'working for Vladimir Putin' | TheHill
*sigh*
Then we have orange twAtler vowing to let Obamacare die--which it won't unless he and the Republicans actively sabotage it--and repealing legislation that protects working Americans trying to save for retirement from getting ripped off by investment firms. And that's after his junta decided to close the war crimes office, the cyber crime office, and the real voter integrity office.
Urk.
Friends, we REALLY need legislation--binding on all levels of and individuals in government--mandating that they exercise good faith when proposing and ratifying legislation that it be in the best interests of the American public--not just the rich at the expense of the many.
GENERAL STRIKE NOW
SPECIAL ELECTION NOW!!!!!
But wait--there's moar!
This likely political masturbation nonetheless makes me smile:
Trump no confidence vote proposed by House Democrats - USA Today
Dems launch 'no confidence' resolution against Trump | TheHill
Well, that's about fucking time. Apparently, 24 brave Dems have signed the resolution.
Now there's something I wish I could vote on
...with mail-in ballots like they use in Oregon
...because we're all registered automatically
...because it's s'posed to be easy to vote so we can all do it, duh.
So, again, I beg our allies in Canada, Mexico, the U.K., France, and Germany--indeed, anyone in the world who cares about global warming, human rights, restoring American dignity and leadership on the world stage, and restoring peace, prosperity, and stability to the world--PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...
Pretty please with a cherry on top...
PLEASE hack into our voter rolls and register all of us Democrats automatically!
PLEASE hack into our voter rolls and restore all suppressed Democratic voters back INTO our voter rolls!
PLEASE hack into our election systems and make sure that every Democratic vote is counted!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
...You know you want to!
...and tRump sez it's politics as usual for you to do so, so have at it.
I'm sure he'll be very happy if you do
...and I know we will!
On a moar positive note 🎶
Good n00z, everyone
...Kris Kobach is calling for a new election!
Yep, you read that right, folks...
You see, ol' Kris just doesn't trust the results from the 2016 election.
He sez that Hillary's popular vote margin of nearly 3 MILLION votes is in question, which means that tRump's electoral vote margin of ~70 THOUSAND must be in question even moar bigly!
He sez we have no way of knowing how many votes either Hillary or orange twAtler got.
All of that can only mean one thing:
GENERAL STRIKE NOW
SPECIAL ELECTION NOW!!!!!
because even Donald tRump agrees that we need a new election!
Onward!!

...In short, a comprehensive history of all the ugly scams and scandals that were hot news items at the time that tRump was hoping we'd all forget. Which we didn't.

...What a fucking mess. The only other person there, aside from tRumPEWtin, was PEWtin's translator. That translator is the only one who knows for sure what was said. I wish we could subpoena that person! As I said to tRump on Twitter: PEWtin could say that tRump says he lurves being PEWtin's cock holster, and tRump has no way to prove otherwise. I'll bet the talk was all about PEWtin getting Donnie to lift the sanctions and give PEWtin his coveted warm water port in Syria. tRump hasn't been able to accomplish the former, but he's already done the latter--given complete control over Assad's fate to PEWtin. Complete capitulation. Yeesh. And tRump had the gall to call O'Bama weak. Phuque--tRump is so weak that, if he were to arm-wrestle a kitten, the kitten would win. And it would have bigger hands.
The Daily Beast: GOP Lawmaker Got Direction From Moscow, Took It Back to D.C.
...Spoiler: it's Dana Rohrabacher! Yup, good ol' comrade Rohrabacher received his directions from PEWtin to kill the sanctions, and he took those directions back to DC with the intention of acting on them on haste post haste. Jesus fucking haploid Christ. Rohrabacher is a TRAITOR! He needs to RESIGN. And WE need to call, visit, and Resistbot our congress critters, dear ones, and tell them to REVOKE ROHRABACHER along with Kushner, Sessions, Gorsuch, tRump, and the rest of the sorry junta!

..."The President's pardon power is limited to federal offenses, which include federal prosecutions in U.S. territories like the District of Columbia...." And, no, he can't pardon himself.

And if the media are too chickenshit to turn on the cameras, then they should just not cover the White House at all. Period. I guarantee, the White House is so full of narcissists that they'd be begging for media coverage. It's about time the media started serving the American public because THAT'S THEIR FUCKING JOB, DUH.

I don't believe for a moment that there's a lover's tiff between orange twAtler and KKKeebler elf Jeff Sessions. I think it's just a ruse. Remember, tRump has played the same card before when he wanted to distract us. So, no, I ain't buying it. Still, though, leave it to Seth Meyers to make hay out of the absurdity that is tRump.

Well, dear ones, we certainly live in interesting times...
Foreign Policy: Tillerson to Shutter State Department War Crimes Office
...which means that America will no longer track--or likely admit--the atrocities we commit against civilians...which is horrible, dreadful n00z because tRump has ALREADY killed more civilians than Obama did in his whole eight years.
RawStory: Trump admin moves to close cyber office
...which is a total invitation to PEWtin to keep fucking with our elections.
Mic: Despite public's pleas, FEC won't move to block foreign meddling, commissioner says
...which also is a total invitation to PEWtin to keep fucking with our elections.
This bullshit must NOT be allowed to stand...
GENERAL STRIKE NOW
SPECIAL ELECTION NOW!!!!!
But wait--there's moar!
Have you heard that tRump has declared this "Made in America week"?
Here is a list of all the products that tRump and Ivanka manufacture in America:
He's also decreed that irony is d-e-d dead.
On a moar positive note 🎶
Just after I read the article about the FEC explicitly inviting further foreign interference in our elections, I saw this:
WSJ: South Carolina May Prove a Microcosm of US Election Hacking Efforts
...and then I heard from tRump himself...
and since he sez itz politics as usual ("That's politics!") to solicit foreign powers to interfere in our elections and accept their help, WE can now use the precedent that tRump has established--and that Republicans apparently proudly approve, as demonstrated by their deafening silence--to take our country back from the PEWtinist Christo-fascists:
- WE can petition our TRUE allies, like Canada, Mexico, the U.K., France, and Germany for help
- WE can ask them to hack us suppressed Democratic voters back INTO our voter rolls and register us automatically
- And WE can ask our allies to hack into our voting machines to make sure every Democratic vote is counted
Like I said, friends--this is good n00z. PEWtin is just one lonely little backwater piece of slime. There's no way in hell he can compete with the full force of our TRUE allies working together to restore peace, prosperity, and stability to the world--all the things that make America truly great that tRumPEWtin have so quickly dismantled in the past several year-like months.
Onward!
